Fifth entry in the Duncan Kincaid/Gemma James Scotland Yard mystery series. When Duncan receives a call from his ex-wife Victoria, whom he hasn't seen in over ten years, he wonders what's up. Vic is a Cambridge University professor and is also writing a biography of a semi-famous Cambridge poet, Lydia, who committed suicide five years previously. After examining Lydia's papers, Vic begins to wonder if her death was indeed a suicide and has decided to contact Duncan to get his opinion and to see if he can gain access to the police reports from the time of her death. When Vic herself ends up dead a short time later, Duncan's uneasy feeling about the earlier case are solidified and he vows to stop at nothing to find Vic's killer, too--and Gemma steps in to assist. I can't believe how much I've come to enjoy this series. Very rarely do I finish a book in a series and want to move immediately to the next one to see what happens next, but I do feel that way with this one. I generally hold myself back though--heaven forbid I make it through them all too quickly and then have to WAIT for the next book to be written! LOL
